Safe Bite Grade D Bad 09/02/2026
Share:

Safe Bite Grade is independently calculated by Safe Bite Report based on public LDH inspection data. Not an official health department grade. Grade based on latest inspection cycle through 09/02/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Inspection — 09/02/2026
Visit Grade: B — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 09/02/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single use articles. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical toxins (bleach, degreasers, pesticides)

Cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and degreasers stored near food or food-contact surfaces can spill, leak, or produce fumes that contaminate food. Chemical poisoning from contaminated food can cause severe burns, organ damage, and death.

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 09/02/26

The hand wash lavatory is used for purpose other than hand washing. [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 09/02/26

The grease trap is not easily accessible for cleaning and/or is not serviced. [Corrected]

Inspection — 06/12/2026
Visit Grade: C — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 06/12/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria Salmonella B. cereus C. perfringens

Food held above 41°F enters the 'danger zone' where bacteria multiply rapidly. Listeria can grow even under refrigeration — above 41°F, growth accelerates dangerously. This is one of the most common causes of foodborne outbreaks.

Critical Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 06/12/26

Medicines or first-aid supplies are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single-use articles. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Pharmaceutical contamination

Medications and first-aid supplies stored near food can contaminate it with drugs, ointments, or chemicals. While accidental pharmaceutical contamination of food is rare, the consequences can be unpredictable and harmful.

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/17/26

Using time only as a public health control, food was not marked or otherwise identified with the time within which it would be cooked , served , or discarded. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus Listeria

When food spends too long in the temperature 'danger zone' (41°F-135°F), bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels in hours. Some bacteria produce toxins during this time that survive reheating — cooking it again does not eliminate the risk.

Critical Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/17/26

Raw animal foods with different cooking temperature requirements are not separated to prevent cross contamination during storage, preparation, or display. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC Allergens

Cross contamination transfers dangerous bacteria from raw meat, dirty surfaces, or contaminated items to food that's ready to eat. Since that food won't be cooked again, any bacteria transferred will be consumed.
